But what if it’s made by Alcatel ?! :-)

That didn't make it true.Likewise, people can say that there is no cyber-terror threat. They can even laugh at those who affirm it as true, but that doesn't mean it's a lie, just because Joe Snuffy says so.

Nation-states are actively developing cyberwarfare capabilities and involved in the cyberarms race, targeting government networks and critical infrastructures. The result of a cyberattack of this nature can result in physical damage and death –it’s not just a war between computers, cyberwarfare can cause real devastation. Cyberweapons Are Targeting Critical Infrastructure – Attackers are not only building their cyberdefenses, but cyberoffenses, targeting infrastructure such as power grids, transportation, telecommunication, finance and water supplies, because damage can be done quickly and with little effort. In most developed countries, critical infrastructure is connected to the Internet and lacks proper security functions, leaving these installations vulnerable to attacks. Without the appropriate protection combined with the current lack of preparedness, an attack on these infrastructures would be detrimental and will cause more destruction than any previous attacks. <a href="http://newsroom.mcafee.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=3594" target="_blank">http://newsroom.mcafee.com/article_display.cfm?ar...</a> Over the past year, the increase in politically motivated cyberattacks has raised alarm and caution, with targets including the White House, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Secret Service and Department of Defense in the U.S. alone.
